    When I make tuna salad, I add half a tbsp. whipped salad dressing, finely sliced lettuce, an egg, and a tsp. of sweet relish. I eat it on toast or on a bagel thin. Delish :-)

    Sounds like it's the bread - those are a lot higher in cals than the mayo.
    Eat the tuna w/ small portion of mayo - and only eat 1/2 the bread.
    that'll give you a full-feeling from eating, and cut the break cals in 1/2.

    When I eat tuna - I use lemon-pepper, and about 2 Tbslp of lite mayo,
    add some celery and red onion. yum.

    Just get a nice tuna steak, sear both sides, drizzle with a little soy sauce and wasabi aioli. Done.

    Even though this post is a month and a half old...I'll say...tzatziki sauce. It's amazing in tuna or salmon salad.

    Lite Miracle Whip or Lite Ranch works good. Also, I know someone who squeezes fresh lemon juice on her tuna with some pepper.
    fat free or ;ow fat ranch! (watch portions) lemon mustard if you dig mustard

    Mix your tuna with balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, dill rosemary, and a little sage. Add sliced green onions, torn fresh basil. Place in a whole wheat pita with fresh spinach and roma tomato slices.

    Here in Toronto, we have Kozlik's Mustards. I use their dill mustard and light miracle whip, split about 50/50. Adds a nice little bite to the sandwich.

    I haven't read the whole thread, so I don't know if it's been mentioned as an option - but what about using tuna in a mediterranean style wrap? Tuna, mixed with some olive oil, hummus, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, in a low carb or multigrain wrap? I do this with chicken all the time, but suppose it could work with tuna...

    I don't eat meat at all, so I haven't tried this, but I've heard swapping the mayo for avocado is awesome. Avocado still has a lot of fat and calories, but it's not as bad as mayo, and at least they're healthy fats.

    What's wrong with a little mayo? It tastes the best and goes a long way. Why suffer! Just sayin' :smile:

    I use the Kraft Mayo made with Olive Oil...only 45 cal per tablespoon instead of 100 for regular.
